Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Yin Ying shouted tenderly and stood in front of Lin Manqing. At the same time, she fired the Xuanji crossbow. The crossbow arrow flew across the void and appeared on the sky road in front of her like a ghost, colliding head-on with the oncoming musical note and sword energy.

There was no sound of metal clashing, nor was there any shock wave spreading out from the collision of swords.

The sword intent transformed from the musical note dissipated at the touch of the Xuanji Crossbow, and turned into a note plucked from a string, resounding in everyone's ears.

The sound of the piano is faint, as if someone is whispering something.

Yin Ying didn't expect that the other party could control the sound of the piano to such an extent. Her crossbow arrow had clearly touched the musical notes and sword energy, but still missed.

The crossbow arrow pierced through the void and was about to penetrate the sky road and fall outside the secret passage.

Yin Ying quickly put the crossbow arrow back into the Xuanji crossbow.

At this moment, the piano sound that echoed around them condensed again and turned into a sword intent, stretching across the front of them.

Yin Ying was about to attack again when she heard Lin Manqing say, "You are no match for him. Back off. I'll do it."

Yin Ying could only step aside and said with a guilty look on her face: "Madam, I am incompetent!"

Lin Manqing smiled and said, "It's not that you are incompetent. Looking around the world, there are few people who can rival this person who plays the piano."

Then he looked up and said, "Is it Senior Brother Xi who is blocking the road ahead?"

The sound was not loud, but it pierced through the clouds and fog and echoed through the sky.

A soft hiss came from the mist, which seemed to carry a hint of surprise, followed by a gentle and lazy voice: "Who are you?"

"My name is Lin Manqing, and I am Muchen's wife in the world. I often hear Muchen say that Senior Brother Xi entered Taoism through playing the zither, and his music is the best in the world. Today, I am fortunate to listen to Senior Brother's profound music, and this trip is worthwhile."

"Oh?" The surprise in that person's voice became more obvious, but the laziness could not be removed. "So you are the wife that Lao Shiba married in the human world. What are you doing here?"

"Brother Xi, you are blocking my way here. Don't you know that it's me who is coming?" Lin Manqing said.

"I am just ordered to guard the Heavenly Road and block the invading enemies." Zeng Yizhi said.

"So, Senior Brother Xi, do you know that the invading enemy is me?"

There was silence on the other end for a while.

The musical notes and sword energy in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the clouds and fog in front cleared up, revealing a person above the Heavenly Road. He had long hair draped over his shoulders, his clothes half-open, revealing his chest. He sat cross-legged on the steps, with a Fuxi Qin placed across his knees.

"I didn't know it was my sister-in-law. May I ask why you came here?" Zeng Yizi asked.

"I'm here to seek justice." Lin Manqing said.

"Fair?" Zeng Yi was stunned, then slowly shook his head. "Mu Chen was expelled from Tiandu for a reason that cannot be blamed entirely on Senior Brother. Moreover, I heard that Mu Chen has already left the Heavenly Dao and established his own. With such amazing talent, no less than the Buddha who established Lingshan, he should be able to let go of everything. Why should he be bothered by such a small injustice?"

Lin Manqing knew that Zeng Yizhi had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xi, I am not here to seek justice for Muchen."

"Why is that?"

"Brother Xi, don't you know that my two younger brothers have come to Tiandu?"

"Two younger brothers?"

Zeng Yizhi was a free-spirited person who enjoyed playing the zither all his life. He traveled to the top of Kunlun Mountain and rarely participated in the affairs of the sect. Except for the time when he followed Ouyang Shuang closely when he first joined the sect and Ouyang Shuang took great care of him, which made him fall in love with her, there was no one or anything else that could make him put down the zither.

Therefore, although Zeng Yizi knew that his master had brought back two young men and placed them under the care of his eldest senior brother, he did not know the origins of these two people, and he did not care.

It was only when Lin Manqing mentioned it that he remembered it.

"Are you talking about Lin Yun and Yan Jin?"

"Exactly."

"So they are your brothers, that is, Muchen's brothers. No wonder Master brought them back." Zeng Yizi nodded, and suddenly asked curiously, "What happened to them?"

"Brother Xi, do you really not know?"

"really do not know."

"They were sealed in the Mountain and River State Map."

"What?" Zeng Yizi was surprised. "The Mountain and River State Map is the most precious treasure in Tiandu. No one can use it except the head and the eldest brother. How is it possible?"

"Haha, we should ask that old thief Gao Qi about this. He falsely accused my brother of stealing the treasure, and when my eldest brother spoke up for them, he sealed them, along with my eldest brother, into the Mountain and River State Map."

"Big Brother was also sealed into the picture?" Zeng Yizi was shocked.

"If you don't believe it, Brother Xi, you can go to Tianqiong Garden and take a look. The map of mountains, rivers, and the country is now hanging in the central hall of the main hall of Tianqiong Garden." Lin Manqing said.

"Tianqiong Garden..." Zeng Yizhi shook his head, "Impossible! I just went to Tianqiong Garden, and there is indeed a painting of mountains, rivers, and the country there, but it is a fake and has been broken into two pieces."

"Fake?" Now it was Lin Manqing's turn to be surprised.

She looked up and stared at Zeng Yizi.

From the music she just heard, she judged that this person was a person of pure and indifferent character. She had heard Li Muchen mention Zeng Yizhi before, although only a few words, but he also praised Zeng Yizhi's character and thought that among the disciples of Tiandu, this Senior Brother Xi ranked first in terms of character.

Such a person would not lie.

"Brother Xi, are you sure that it's a fake?"

"Of course, the Mountain and River State Map is an ancient divine artifact, the work of a great witch. How could it be torn in half?" Zeng Yizhi shook his head and said, "The map is a world in itself. Even if it is smaller than this world, it is at least a cave heaven. Who can tear a cave heaven in half? If such a magic weapon is to be destroyed, it will also be space annihilation, and the energy fluctuations brought by annihilation may cause Kunlun to vibrate. How could I not sense it?"

"It's actually like this!" Lin Manqing was shocked at first, even a little panicked, because if the map of mountains, rivers, and the country in Tianqiong Garden was a fake, then things would become complicated and her plans would be completely disrupted.

She couldn't judge Gao Qi's intention. Why would he make a fake painting? Was he trying to confuse her? It didn't seem necessary!

Suddenly, Zeng Yizhi said, "It's really strange. The Mountain and River Map is an ancient divine work made by a divine witch. It should be difficult to forge it, but I saw two fakes on the mountain. In addition to the torn one in the main hall of Tianqiong Garden, I also saw one outside Ningbing Valley. It was in the hands of two short old men. It was more realistic than the one in Tianqiong Garden. Except for a few strange lines, it was almost exactly the same as the real one."

“Two little old men?” Lin Manqing was stunned, and suddenly burst into laughter, “Ha, how could I forget about them!”

The two short old men Zeng Yizhi mentioned were most likely Ye Zhong Youguang. They were probably making fake paintings when Zeng Yizhi saw them. Later, they replaced the fake paintings with real ones and hung them in Tianqiong Garden. When Gao Qi found out that they were fake paintings, he must have been furious and tore up the fake paintings.

Thinking of this, Lin Manqing almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Since the painting really fell into Ye Zhong Youguang's hands, Lin Yun and Yan Jin are naturally no longer in danger. Maybe they have already been released.

At this moment, Lin Manqing completely relaxed.

"Brother Xi, the matter has been made clear, do you still want to stop me?"

Zeng Yizhi was silent for a moment, then he placed his hands on the strings of the zither and said, "Sister-in-law, can you go to Tiandu again in three days? After three days, I will never stop you again."
